Report
Albeit dated, Sutherland's offers a fully stocked drug store. Apart from it's typical pharmacy offerings it also offers, it holds the largest selection of magazines in Yellowknife. Household amenities are also available such as candles, cloths, etc which are not offered at other stores specifically it's main competitor. I'd only give this store three stars as I find the service here to be sporadically good which is mainly because the cashiers are also expected to do other tasks such as unpacking, shelf work, etc. Nonetheless, the store is in a prime spot along Franklin Avenue
